About Mae

Mae Lu is a Canada-born, So-Cal-raised Asian American 30 Something, living a dream with her hubby & dog in the magical kingdom of Hawaii.

This red-lipstick aficionado designs websites for a living and runs a fledgling lifestyle YouTube Channel in her spare time. On the weekends, if she's not filming, you can find her behind the lens of her Sony A6000, shooting scenery in Hawaii, hiking the hills and ridges of her beloved island home, or chasing the perfect sunset.

Why "thereafterish."? Because "and they lived happily ever thereafter" is just half of every story, and this is mine.

{ Architecture of an Outfit } 2010 in outfits & more gratitude than I can fit in my mouf

December 31, 2010

Despite considering myself a pretty good writer and offering a pretty good variety of different types of posts on this very young Style Site, the ones that seem to resonate most with readers are my Architecture of an Outfit posts.

So, to thank you, my new and old readers, for 7-going-on-8 amazing months of growth, I am posting my very favorite Outfit Architectures of 2010.

{ January }

Just another Casual Friday outfit. Very cold. One of the few times I feel I layered well.

{ February }

Date Night in Feb. To celebrate 5 Years Together with Husby (5 years together total, at the time, married just 6 months).

{ March }

(Was a tie, I guess I dressed pretty well that month)

Work

Also for work.

{ April }

Traipsing and fooling around in the Cleveland Art Museum with my bestie, J.

A thorough look at my year in clothes has produced certain and particular conclusions regarding trends in how I dress.

I rather love

Stripes and Polka Dots

Socks

Waist cinching belts

flouncy short skirts

Man trousers/man pants

Fierce black shoes (mostly strappy or super tall or both)

Ankle length pants

Bows in any form

The color combination of grey and yellow

Scarves

Cardigans

Mixing prints

It’s also quite apparent that because I only dress for work, that I no longer know how to dress with jeans. Even on Casual Fridays, I feel really awkward or clueless when donning jeans. And that I only have 2 blazers.

{ Gratitude to the max }

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this little journey with me. Thank you so much for helping thereafterish. to grow over 15-30% each month, and for coming back and leaving me beautiful comments. I am more grateful to you than I could ever express. Please continue to help me grow and flourish in 2011. It’s just going to keep getting better and better thanks to you all.
